Lu Xiao thought for a moment and smiled faintly, "Other than being a bit lecherous, there aren’t really any other flaws."
Lu Shen was clearly dissatisfied with Lu Xiao’s remark.
He looked heavily at his most outstanding eldest son, the heir he had carefully cultivated for years, and said with hatred, "Xiao’er, you’re the son I value most, you absolutely can’t be burdened by that worthless fool. I now command you as the Family Head to swiftly divorce that useless one!"
Lu Xiao sat upright in his seat, confronting his father, his indifferent voice betraying no emotion, "Father, do you truly want to do this?"
"You are the future head of the Lu Family, how can you marry someone so useless?" Lu Shen snorted disdainfully.
"But according to the Lu Family’s family rules, a male serves only one Female Master for life. If I divorce for this reason, wouldn’t it ruin the family’s reputation?"
"That female, regardless of her character, was at least an Empire Princess back then and had an S-rank spiritual power, which suited you. But what value does she have now?"
The Head of the Lu Family, Lu Shen, sneered, "Stripped of her Princess title, her S Spiritual Power is gone too, and I heard she became fat and ugly after coming out of the polluted area, not only bringing no value to the Lu Family but also making us the laughingstock of the aristocratic families for a year! How can I bear this!"
Having said that, Lu Shen couldn’t be bothered to waste more words and said straightforwardly, "I called you back this time to inform you of something important!"
"...Please go ahead, Father."
"I not only want you to divorce that useless one and marry Princess Shen Qingli, but I’ve already spoken to the Princess, she is very pleased with you and will come soon. I’ve arranged for you two to meet and get to know each other."
Lu Shen looked more satisfied, "This Princess Shen Qingli also has S Spiritual Power. Rumor has it her beauty is unmatched in the world, much better than that useless person. You’ll definitely like her..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Lu Xiao suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice, "Sorry, I currently have no plans for a divorce."
Lu Shen did not expect to be refused. He was stunned for a moment, then spoke sternly, "Say that again if you dare!"
Lu Xiao’s low voice was as steady as ever, but it was filled with unparalleled determination, "I am quite satisfied with my Female Master."
"Ridiculous! Do you know what you’re saying! Shen Qingli is the future heir of the Empire, the King you should be devotedly serving!"
Lu Shen was so angry that his beard shook. He couldn’t believe that his most favored son had changed so much after just a year away and had even learned to defy his father!
What on earth did that useless one feed him!
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao only smiled slightly, "I don’t think so."
Having said that, he turned and left, ignoring Lu Shen’s furious expression.
Lu Shen shouted angrily, "What on earth is so good about that useless one, making you so stubborn!"
Lu Xiao paused in his steps, a low voice came calmly, "She is very interesting."
"Interesting?" Lu Shen’s face turned even worse. He had never heard such a word from this disciplined son before, nor had he thought that his evaluation of someone would be "interesting."
Lu Xiao had no intention of explaining, speaking directly, "Shen Tang is the Female Master I am willing to serve. If Father intends to persuade me to divorce and remarry, there is no need to say more. If there’s nothing else important, don’t bother calling me back."
As he spoke, a hint of playfulness colored his voice, "If Father is truly so satisfied with Princess Shen Qingli, why not... Father marries her instead."
"You! Insolent!"
